It’s not
the story that matters, it’s the characters. Peter/Spiderman (Garfield) is
haunted by being abandoned by his parents, torn between his love for Gwen
(Stone) and his promise to her dying father to stay away from her. Grace is
frustrated over their on-again, off-again love affair and eager to continue her
science education with a scholarship to Oxford. Max (Foxx) is a geeky
electricity genius, ignored by everybody, seen by none, longing for friendship
and recognition, transformed by accident into an electric monster – if you
can’t love me, fear me. Harry (DeHaan) is Peter’s best friend since childhood,
now heir to the Oscorp empire and Peter’s parents’ research, and dying.
Great cast. Strong film. Up among the best of Marvel.
